Memo to Bush on Darfur

Nicholas Kristof's opinion piece in the New York Times lays out 8 steps the Bush Administration should take to help not only Darfur, but, as Mr. Kristof says, "Save Sudan." A little over a month ago Kristof started to broaden his view (and his readers' view) on Sudan; the crisis is most visible and deadly in Darfur (western Sudan), but the North-South tensions have returned after only 3 years of peace.

Southern Sudan desperately needs piece. Various aid projects grounded in the US are gaining momentum, but they will not be realized if fighting in the south resumes.
